Intro: E B F#m C#m A E B

A                    C#m
You're at home, I'm away
                 B 
And if all I can say
                              C#m 
Is that this boy is still the same
                            A
It's the man inside that's changed 
              C#m             B
Front of the line but still behind
                               C#m 
Seems like I'm trying way too hard 
                            A
And like I haven't tried at all 
 C#m                               B
Hard as stone but feeling all the weight 
                C#m                    A
Feeling all the weight that's crushing me 

When you come around 
              C#m
You're like a little slice of heaven when I'm coming down 
B                        B
Lifting me up above the clouds 

E            B             F#m           C#m
I'll sleep tonight but the wars far from over 
  A         E        B
Tomorrow is no guarantee 
   E          B             F#m       C#m
If I don't return from this life of a soldier 
A              E        B
Don't you be crying for me. 

A               
Throw this all away 
C#m
Nothing comes for free at least that's what they say 
B
If I had the chance I'd do it all again 
C#m
If I had the chance I'd do it all again 
A
Racing against the clock trying to relieve the pressure 
C#m
Pushing you away so we can be together 
B
Carry me today I'll carry you forever 
C#m                                             A
Let's take a chance and we'll see if this won't last 
C#m                                 B
Hard as a stone but feeling all the weight 
                 C#m                   A
Feeling all the weight that's crushing me  

When you come around 
               C#m
You're like a little slice of heaven when I'm coming down 
B                        B
Lifting me up above the clouds. 

E            B             F#m           C#m
I'll sleep tonight but the wars far from over 
  A         E        B
Tomorrow is no guarantee 
   E          B             F#m       C#m
If I don't return from this life of a soldier 
A              E        B
Don't you be crying for me. 

          A                       E
There's a car pulling up and the man who's inside 
 B
Takes a deep breath as he straightens his tie 
 A                           E
It's nothing new cause he's done this before 
    B
She knew it as soon as he knocked on the door 
 A                            E    
Please someone please tell me I must be dreaming 
 B
What will I do oh, I just can't believe it 
A                   E
Taken away, oh he's Taken away 
 B
Someone take me away Someone take me away.
